First of all, I have to tell you all how much of a miracle that there is an entry for me today. I love running-it's on my top 5 list of my favorite things in the world. However, early mornings are in the bottom 5. So, it's VERY hard to drag my butt out of bed early in the morning, unless I'm meeting someone. So, this morning, the plan was for my husband and I to run together. The alarm went off at 5:30, and my husband rolled over and said, "I think I'm going to skip the run today. My legs are sore." But guess what-I got up and ran-BY MYSELF at 5:30 am!!!!! And I enjoyed it! I always do once I'm out there, anyway.
The plan was to do 5 miles, but I felt good, so I kept going. I finished in 55:23, a 9:53 pace. My splits always seem to be either 10:10 or 9:50. I can never seem to run straight 10:00 miles. I picked it up at the end until I got below 8:00 pace, according to Garmin.
I'm so proud of myself for getting up!!! |
